I recently downloaded a QuickTime movie (215MB) which won't play on my laptop
running XP Home. When I click on the .mov file, I get the error message
"Couldn't finish initializing application because the file was not found."
When I copy the same movie to an external 80 Mb USB HD, QT takes over right
away and plays the movie flawlessly. How can I play the movie right off my
laptop's HD? Thanks.
